Blogging every day has been really hard. Sometimes I have lots of time at work (some of the work I do involves programming and when I have to wait on the computer to run my programs, I usually have some time to put together an entry), but that's not always the case. I would like to get in the habit of posting regularly again, so it look's like I'm going to need to take a few minutes at night to do it. The accountability of the blog is important to me, even if I'm the only one who reads it.
My husband and I have been not eating well lately. We had a great plan to make our meals for the entire week on Sundays, but we have been so busy that it hasn't happened for the last two weeks. So basically we've been eating out almost every night. Definitely not a good plan. I don't want this holiday season to turn into an excuse to eat badly for a month and a half, which is usually what happens. I don't want to be on a 'diet' either. I want to use control and moderation and just be healthy.
Tonight I'm going to go grocery shopping so that I have healthy options at home and we can put an end to eating out every night. I also want to do 30 minutes of cardio at the gym. We've been setting our alarm to go in the morning lately and not getting up to do it. I'm going to make plans to go to the gym on certain days and if I don't get up in the morning, I'm going to have to go at night. No more excuses.

Hi! Thanks for letting me know I could give you some inspiration. It means a lot even if one person reads and it keeps me going. It is hard to blog everyday - trust me I know!!! But I feel the few minutes are worth it. Sometimes I don't eat something because I don't want to have to write it down for the world to see. It also really helped me to make the mini challenges for myself because I felt like I had to check it off or answer to the blog.
Over time it is helpful to look back at your progress, see what worked and what didn't. People have been asking me a lot lately how I lost these 15 pounds and I can just say... go read my blog. It says what I did, good and bad, for 14 weeks! yikes, that seems like a lot of posts.
I'll check back and see how you are doing. Congrats for starting up the effort again. Try to be defined by how you bounce back rather than how you failed in previous attempts. You can do this!!! Try to stay on track for 21 days (that is what it takes to make it a habit) the first 2 weeks are the hardest.
PS - aren't larabars the best?!
